Bandwidth Monitor Help/Wusage
 

two part question here

1. how many gigs is 372,204,077,704 bytes
wusage says thats how much my server is pushing. i think its 372gigs but thats impossible in my eyes for this kind of server. its a p3 800, gig of rhambus ram and scsi hd...not a raid

2. does anyone know of a b/w monitor like MRTG where i wont need router access?


thanks in advance...brian

1: 372 gigs

372,204,077,704 bytes / 1024^3 = 346.64 gigabytes. Why does this matter? Why not just assume 1000 instead of 1024? Because it's 7% off what everyone normally thinks. I wouldn't mind my bandwidth bill being 7% less. Luckily hosts dont fuck you over like HD manufacturers do.

I can't wait until we deal with terabytes - 1024^4 / 1000^4 = 9.95% off of the true value.

Good point, Juge. You're right, in a computer context 1 Gb = 2^30 bytes. I seem to have gotten into a routine of thinking about it as 10^9.

Brian, you sure it's not showing it in BITS...

if it's in bits, it would be divided by 8, giving you 47gigs....
